Nationalism does nothing but teach you to hate people you never met, and to take pride in accomplishments you had no part in.

Kent police said 'no arrests were made' of the people who blocked a port and roads. There's your two-tier policing, folks www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cm...

"Left-wingers want high taxes" Err, no... Left-wingers want to tax the rich. They want to redistribute that wealth to the masses, and invest in public services, to improve the lives of regular folk. Right-wingers want to tax the poor. They want to give your money to the rich.

Dear Shabana, Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.
Dear Shabana,
I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank.
You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to
make a perilous crossing on small boats.”
I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton
and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government
who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division.
When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there
to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done
in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the
flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney.
As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking
points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I
filled water tanks and picked up litter.
What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop
the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country.
Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it.
It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping
migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and
croissants to refugees and food parcels.
When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She
said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for
refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers
whilst risking death on the seas.”
She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on
the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …

Migration is part of what makes this country great. We're not an island of strangers - we're an island of neighbours. The Green Party will always support fair & managed migration.

Israel is assassinating Iran’s leadership with breathtaking accuracy. Please reflect on that when you recollect that they dropped 2,000 pound bunker buster bombs on refugee camps in Gaza. Proof that it was indeed a genocide.

Here's what the new co-owner of TikTok US and existing co-owner of the Tony Blair Institute (the 'let's do digital ID' guys) had to say this time last year. This is who's dictating and planning to profit from mandatory government digital ID, starting with immigrants and expanding to everyone else.

I of course welcome the recognition of the state of Palestine. And there won't be a Palestinian state left if government's continue enabling Israel's unfolding genocide. Labour can't credibly support Palestinian statehood whilst also continuing to arm Israel.

I wouldn’t trust a scab as far as I could kick them. So yeah, I trust the NEC over scabs.

Matt Riley @mattriley.codes · 01/09/2025
There was nothing in the NUM constitution demanding a national ballot thus the elected NEC voted against holding one, instead the ballots were held regionally and locally.

What you’re saying simply isn’t true but your trying to defend scabs, so 🤷‍♂️ People tie themselves in knots trying to justify the unjustifiable

Matt Riley @mattriley.codes · 01/09/2025
There was nothing in the NUM constitution saying a national ballot was needed. There were local ballots across the country, the miners voted to go out on strike. Running round in circles frothing at the mouth about a national ballot doesn’t remove the fact miners voted to go out on strike.

Matt Riley @mattriley.codes · 01/09/2025
There were ballots all over the country and miners voted to go out on strike. It was democratic, just clearly not the democracy you choose to believe in - which is unsurprising for a scab.

Matt Riley @mattriley.codes · 01/09/2025
What part of there being ballots are you not understanding? As for the rule of law, workers are allowed to withhold their labour, and many of our anti-trade union laws actually break international law regarding the right to strike and be in unions but you know, you keep banging the scab drum

Matt Riley @mattriley.codes · 01/09/2025
There wasn’t a requirement at all, there were local ballots, it was not an illegal strike in any sense regardless of what the court said, the legal system was hardly at its peak during the 80’s.

Matt Riley @mattriley.codes · 01/09/2025
No the NUM didn’t need to have a national ballot there was no constitutional need for them to do so. There were ballots across the country. And there was one region who took money from Tory donors to set up a scab union.

Matt Riley @mattriley.codes · 01/09/2025
Except there were ballots, 73% of Nottinghamshire Miners voted not to strike. There were ballots across the various regions, there was not a national ballot. If there was, doesn’t mean the Notts scabs would have paid any attention to it.
